Mintz kissed her hand without speaking, then his tall, bony, somewhat stooping figure disappeared down the corridor. Lydia Constantinovna's bedroom was cold and gloomy.

I am glad you have found our Christ. Father thinks so too. Thank you for thinking I would understand. Lovingly, MOTHER MARSHALL. But after all that excitement Mother Marshall could not sleep. She lay quietly beside Father in the old four-poster and planned all about that room.
Plainly he was in a woman's room, for its clean particularity and its huge old four-poster bed spread with a craftily wrought "coverlet" proclaimed a feminine proprietorship. A freshly built fire roared on a generous hearth, giving a sense of space broadening and narrowing with fickle boundaries of shadow.
The old stock of Edom had early learned not to part with any massive claw-footed sideboard with glass knobs, or any mahogany four-poster, or tall clock, or high-boy, except after feigning a distressed reluctance. It had learned also to hide its consternation at the prices which this behaviour would eventually induce the newcomers to pay for such junk.
